“I never knew fairies and unicorns could be so dark. The book throws aside so many tropes and just does whatever … it wants, inventing an entirely new world with new rules, and I am always in support of that.”—Joe Zieja, author of the Epic Failure trilogy
A misfit crew race across the galaxy to prevent the genocide of magical creatures, in this unique science fiction debut.
Humanity joining the intergalactic community has been a disaster for Bala, the magical creatures of the galaxy: they’ve been exploited, enslaved and ground down for parts. Now the Century Summit is approaching, when humans will be judged by godlike aliens.
When Jenny Perata, disabled Maori shuttle captain, is contracted to take a shipment to the summit, she must enlist half-unicorn Gary Cobalt, whose horn powers faster-than-light travel. But he’s just been released from prison, for murdering the wife of Jenny’s co-pilot, Cowboy Jim … When the Reason regime suddenly enact laws making Bala property, Jenny’s ship becomes the last hope for magic.

Picking up a book called Space Unicorn Blues, you would think it would be pure escapism nonsense. But it ended up being one of the most poignant and relevant themed book for this time. The characters are compelling and the world building worked seamlessly into the story. I cannot recommend this book enough.
The only minor criticisms is that the first few chapters linger too long in the bar and on the bets, and at times I felt I missed some of the books humour.
